People who are religious have another factor in their life, the help of divine forces. Religious individuals
invite blessings
into their lives by practicing self-surrender, humble submission or taking refuge in the divine.

It is the Instinctive, animal-like nature which contains the tendencies to become angry, jealous, fearful or
hurtful to others.
Part of making progress on the spiritual path is learning to control the instinctive mind. This is where the
yamas, the
ten ethical restraints, come into play.

When we look at the world as providing our happiness, life is a constant series of emotional ups and downs.
When we derive
our contentment from within, life is joyous, and we can share that joy with others.

Though moksha may seem remote, there is wisdom in keeping this ultimate goal in mind as we live our day-to-day
life."To attain
life’s ultimate purpose, three qualifications must be met: Earthly karma must be resolved; dharma must have
been well performed
and God must be realized."

With the modern distraction of digital media, we must be more mindful than ever of person-to-person
communications. Sound
is regarded as divine in Hinduism, so it is fitting that listening has always held a central role
in the faith.
